Ap Chem. Ch. 13 Flashcards
As a solution forms, the solvent pulls solute particles apart and surrounds them.( if its in water, what is this process called?)
Solvation
Homogeneous mixtures( solutions) are formed when 1 _______ disperses uniformly throughout another ______.
Solute
Slovent
In the absense of a strong solvent-solute attraction, the particles randomly spread out. This is typical for nonpolar solutions.
Dispersion
The ability of substances to form solutions depends on 2 factors.
- Type of intermolecular interactions involved
2. Entropy
Natural tendency of substances to spread into larger volumes when not restrained.
Entropy
There are three forces at work during solvation.
- break solvent-solvent attractio
- break solute-solute attraction
- Make solvent-salute attraction
Intermolecular forces that are the strongest when breaking solvent-solvent attraction.
Hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole
Intermolecular force is the easiest to break in a solvent-solvent attraction.
London forces
Intermolecular forces that are the strongest when breaking solute-solute attraction.
Ionic, metallic
Intermolecular forces that are not as strong and not as weak to break in a solute-solute attraction.
Hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole
Intermolecular forces that are easiest to break in a solute-solute attraction.
Lodon forces
Intermolecular force is the hardest to break in a solvent-solute attraction.
Ion – dipole, hydrogen bonding, and dipole – dipole
Intermolecular force is the easiest to break in a solvent-solute attraction.
Ion– Induced dipole, dipole – induced dipole, and London forces
Three processes that affects energetics of solution
- Separation of solute particles
- separation of solvent particles
- New interactions between solute and solvent
Separation of solute particles is a________process
Endothermic
Separation of solvent particles is____________process
Endothermic
Interactions between salute installment are a___________process
Exothermic
Things do not tend to occur spontaneously unless …
The energy of the system is lower (overall exothermic)
What does the order of randomness of the system tend to do to the energy of the system ?
Dissolving is therefore what kind of reaction?
It tends to lower the energy
Disolving is a spontaneous reaction
Even though enthalpy may increase,the overall energy of the system can still decrease in the system becomes more what?
Disordered
Physical change – you can get back the original solute by evaporating the solvent
Dissolution
In this type of solution, the solvent holds as much solute as is possible at that temperature
Saturated
In a saturated solution the dissolved solute is in a dynamic__________
with solid solute particles
Equilibrium
In this type of solution less solute that can be dissolved in the solvent at that temperature is dissolved in the solvent.
Unsaturated
